Tibetan rugs have long history. They come from the high altitude Tibet plateau where the air is thin and most of the year it's cold. Animal fur, silk and pure wool is all you can find in a piece of Tibetan rug. These hand-woven rugs are in understated geometric designs. Some well-known Tibetan area rugs designers are Tibetan, Everest, Himalayan, Indo-Tibet, Highland, and Mirage. Many sites on the Internet offer beautiful Tibetan rugs at discount price.
